187396 MAGMA COPPER 29,8x29,8 cm./11.7"x11.7" D689 1. PROPER PREPARATION OF SURFACE The wall must be firm, levelled, dry and clean. Uneven surfaces greater than 2 mm must be levelled with specific products. All cracks and imperfections should be repaired, so that the wall is completely smooth. The moisture content of the surface must be under 2%. 2. INSTALLATION MATERIAL For a correct installation, several factors must be taken into account: Material kind of the wall to be tiled (synthetic pannels, plaster, wood, etc.), wall stability, environmental conditions, kind of surface to be covered, speed of carrying the work, etc. All the above parameters determine the choice of the adhesive kind. All the adhesive materials recommended by DUNE have been previously tested in our facilities, in controlled environmental conditions and on rigid brick and/or concrete walls. Under different conditions from the above mentioned, it is recommended to test firstly and if in doubt, please contact DUNE or the adhesive distributor. DUNE always recommends to test first the material with minimum two pieces before placing all the material. Make sure that the chosen adhesive is apt for the material to be installed. (SEE VITRA SPECIFIC) (SEE CERAMIC SPECIFIC)
3. INSTALLATION We recommend starting the installation from the floor to the ceiling, continue in phase to allow the adhesive the necessary time to get dry. This will avoid vertical displacements. Extend a thin layer of adhesive on to the surface where the piece will be installed (3mm approx.) Then, use a notched trowel no. 3 to make incisions into the adhesive layer. Place the piece while the adhesive is still soft and before a dry layer of film forms on the adhesive surface. Once the piece is placed, press carefully to obtain a correct adhesion and to cover possible areas without adhesive. Important: make sure that the distance between one sheet and another is the same as the one among the components so that all the joints look alike. For irregular mosaics, we recommend pulling out some components and relocating them in the joint between two sheets. This will improve the finish of the mosaic. (SEE VITRA SPECIFIC) (SEE STONE SPECIFIC) (SEE CERAMIC SPECIFIC) 4. GROUTING All joints must be perfectly clean and dry and having a minimum depth of 2mm. Use a flat rubber trowel to spread the paste, being sure that the joints are completely covered. Use a wet sponge or neutral PH products? never abrasive products? to wash off immediately the excess of grouting paste from the surface before it dries. For better waterproofing, we recommend an epoxy grouting paste, especially in water areas. Do not use epoxy grouting paste with stone mosaics. Consult the grouting materials table. Important:The colour of the grouting paste might change the product?s appearance. We recommend to test with some pieces before grouting the entire surface. (SEE STONE SPECIFIC) 5. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Use a damp sponge and clean water to wash off the excess of grouting paste from the surface. It is very important to do this before the paste dries. If this happens, use a cement remover to clean the surface. (not apt for stone). (SEE CERAMIC SPECIFIC) 6. VITRA SPECIFIC 6.1. INSTALLATION MATERIAL It is recommended to use white-coloured concrete C2 glue or white Exposy adhesives to minimize the change of the glass tone. For swimming pool walls, use a white-coloured concrete C2 glue or Epoxy adhesives and waterproof grouting materials. We also recommend an epoxy grouting paste. It is essential that the pool is completely waterproof. We recommend using specific sealing materials. Make as many tests as necessary to ensure the swimming pool walls are completely waterproof. Please, note levelling materials are not waterproof.
MY PRINT mosaics must be installed using epoxy adhesives. Run a test prior to going ahead with the installation. 6.2. INSTALLATION Handcrafted molten glass mosaics present variations of both colour and shape between the different tesserae that make up the mosaic. Small imperfections and/or irregularities are considered to be a part of this process and, as a result, will not be grounds for complaint (TINSEL, CINEMA, GILDED, REGGAE, SALSA and BLUES). SHOWER FLOOR: Where mosaics are installed on shower floors, it is highly recommended to apply an anti-skid product. DUNE recommends and sells ANTIGLISS. 6.3. CUTTING Use special pliers for glass mosaics or radial disc for glass or porcelain water cooled. 7. STONE SPECIFIC 7.1. INSTALLATION Before installation, we recommend always sealing the stones with our product SELLADOR ANTIMANCHAS. Wax is not suitable for this product, therefore our CERA LIQUIDA cannot be applied on it. Important:Check the stones before installation, mix the sheets from different boxes to obtain a more homogeneous tone variation. For a better choice, get 5% additional quantity to the one needed. As we are dealing with natural materials, shade variation depends on the stone composition, which will be defined by the area of the quarry from which stone are extracted. SHOWER and damp areas: we recommend the use of an insulating layer. Important: Natural stone products are not suitable for covering swimming pools. 7.2. GROUTING We recommend light grouting tones for walls and dark tones for floors. HORUS, LUNE, SOLEIL: have a decorative application on its surface, thus we recommend applying the grout with the aid of a flat rubber trowel to avoid scratching. For these pieces it is especially recommended to remove the paste before it dries on the surface of the piece. Once dry, the only option to eliminate the excess of grouting paste is using abrasive products that will damage the surface. Do not use epoxy grouting pastes without testing before on the piece, as not all stones are suitable for this kind of grouting pastes. 8. MATERIA SPECIFIC 8.1. INSTALLATION MATERIAL For AMAZONIA NATURA and TROPICANA NATURA use Epoxy adhesives with flexible properties apt for wood. Do not use too much product and always follow the adhesive manufacturer?s instructions.
8.2. INSTALLATION Important: For mosaics with natural stone pieces we recommend always sealing them before installation. You can use our product SELLADOR ANTIMANCHAS and/or CERA LIQUIDA. AMAZONIA Y TROPICANA NATURA, should remain at room temperature for at least 48 hours before installation. Spread the adhesive as mentioned above and use a rubber hammer to ease the process. Models manufactured with resin components, DUENDE PLATINUM and DUENDE COPPER, should not be installed in areas close to heat sources, such as behind radiators, in saunas, near burners, etc. 8.3. GROUTING METALIC GOLD and SILVER, PURE BRONZE, BRONZO, ETERNAL, NEREIDA, ATENEA, NAYADE, HERMES, POSEIDON and, in particular, MATRIX, are completely covered with a metallic coat and have a low resistance to scratching. For a proper finish, use a fine grouting material. Excess of grout must be immediately cleaned with a sponge and water, avoiding excessive pressure. Be especially careful as it is at this stage of the installation when scratching is more frequent. Important: we recommend a test of grouting in one piece BEFORE grouting the whole surface. AMAZONIA NATURA and TROPICANA NATURA: do not grout. When dealing with pieces with stone components, do not use epoxy grouting pastes without testing before on the piece, as not all stones are suitable for this king of grouting pastes. 8.4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Wood products: We recommend the sealer FILA PARQUET NATURE or TEAK OIL. The frequency will also depend on the use. Test the product on a piece to see the result. Metallic mosaics can also be cleaned with specific cleaners for metal. Those references with resin protection (NEREIDA, ATENEA, NAYADE, HERMES and POSEIDON ), must not be cleaned using specific epoxy resin cleaners. 8.5. CUTTING MATRIX, METALIC GOLD and SILVER, BRONZO, PURE BRONZE and ETERNAL, can be cut using a metal radial disk. We recommend continuous rim disks. 9. CERAMIC SPECIFIC 9.1. INSTALLATION MATERIAL White and Red body wall tile: C1 concrete glue. (Consult adhesives table). Stoneware and porcelain tile: C2 concrete glue. (Consult adhesives table). 9.2. INSTALLATION FROZEN, ARTISAN, MANDALA, TIFFANY, BRUSSELS and ANDY: Lay the pieces in a random way in order to avoid the continuity
of the design. PITIUSA, ZIG-ZAG, ARTISAN, ABSOLUT, ANDY, BRUSSELS y TIFFANY: We recommend a minimum joint of 2 mm and the use of crosspieces to keep the linearity of the pre-cuts. 9.3. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Use regular cleaners. Additional maintenance is not required. CHARM and GRACE: Avoid using abrasive and anti-lime cleaners or steel wool. 11,26 11 11,33 24,98 72 0,98 70,33 X X X
